He's 11, they came and took him without my consent on Monday and now he's refusing to come home, I don't want to have to physically drag him home and upset him more than he already is but I just want her to stop this vendetta against and to stop turning my son against me, it's breaking my heart hearing my son tell me he doesn't love me and doesn't want to live with me as they have brainwashed him so much.

HiMy colleague has asked me to look at this for youWere you married to your ex and is his name on the birth certificate - and what month and year was he born.Does your son generally settle once he is back with you and away from them?Clare

I was never married his name is on the birth certificate and he did take me to court for a parental responsibility order which I wanted to prevent as I saw this coming. My son was born on the 24th april 2003. He settles fine and never crys when he is away from them.

I wasnt given a choice because his name is on the birth certificate I couldnt dispute it and he was granted it but I am the main care giver he only sees his dad weekends and he doesn't provide for him financially but this isnt about his father its about his grandmother

Iv spoke to my son, daily on the phone, he's coming home tmrw as he wants me to take him for his haircut, I just want to ensure they can't take him again without my consent that they stop poisoning him against me and that when I do allow him to go to his fathers he brings him back at the allocated time on the allocated day and that his grandmother stops questioning my son about my private life telling him I'm a bad mother and stops her vendetta against me, she's constantly questioning friends and son about what I do where I go what time I start work finish work who cares for my son while I'm at work what meals iv fed him and at what time if he misses breakfast coz he's refused to have any then she makes him write a statement saying iv not fed him breakfast, that they don't take him from school without my consent. Iv not spoke to the school as yet as I want to get him home first then I want to know if I can stop them collecting him from school without my consent.

HiI am so pleased that your son is coming home and has found an excuse to do soOnce he is home you need to make an Urgent Application to the court for a Prohibited Steps order stating that your ex cannot remove him from your care in the future and for a Child Arrangement Order stating that he lives with youSince it is an urgent application - and you have evidence of the need to do soYou can read more herehttp://www.familylaw.co.uk/system/uploads/attachments/0000/2078/CB1_1108.pdfOnce that application has been made then CAFCASS will prepare a report - and you can tell them about the Statements that the child is made to writeThis is abusive and you may need to ask for an order restricting the time that the child spends with her when he is with his fatherI hope that this is of assistance - please ask if you need further detailsClare
